Maths Olympiad and Maths Games

Over the year, WGVPS competed in the APSMO Maths Olympiad and Maths Games national competitions. We had two teams of Year 5 and 6 students put their problem-solving skills to the test over five different events from April to September. Overall, our school was ranked above the national average (of hundreds of competing schools!), and we had three students from Maths Olympiad place in the Top 20%. A fantastic result and we are so proud of all who competed.

This term we challenge you to crunch the rainbow for Crunch&Sip® by making a rainbow in your classroom. Eating different coloured fruits and vegetables provides lots of different vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Which is why crunching on a rainbow will help kids get the right balance of nutrients they need for a healthy body.
